B low-Up
Sir. Your readers must have been fascinated by Auberon Waugh's tales (20 May) of the vast sums extorted on Fleet
Street by not very skilled, not very hard or reBularly working, but highly unionised Printers; and by the account of the 'blowsYstenv whereby management sends down Pay packets for imaginary workers to be Shared out by union officials. So now could we press the question of how, if at all, the tax inspectorate impinges On all these ongoings? Is there as much zeal to .extract the sums due from such TUCaffiliated unionists as is shown at conferences of the Inland Revenue Staff Federation for the pursuit of the self-employed and other class enemies? If there is then we !.1, fight see British inspectors of taxes blowing uP the 'blow-system' as effectively as
their American opposite numbers hunted down the otherwise uncatchable Scarface Al Capone.
